Mom Thinks It’s Nice That You Do That Computer Money Stuff
GREAT FALLS — On a recent call with your mother, the subject of what you do for a living inevitably came up. You went on to explain, for the seventh time this month, how you now audit smart contracts for flaws and vulnerabilities, earning a combination of fiat and ETH on a biweekly basis. Your mom replied, “I don’t know what any of that means, but it’s really nice how you do that computer money stuff.” Early attempts to explain your vocation to your mother go back to early 2021 when you were ...

Twitter Rebrands to “X” Commemorating Drop to 10th Best Social Media Platform
SAN FRANCISCO — In a celebratory move, Twitter CEO Elon Musk changed the name of the platform to “X” commemorating its spot on a list of social media platforms. According to HootSuite, it now ranks 10th behind powerhouses such as Truth Social and Holla. Before the new list was announced Musk was planning to rebrand his social media company as “X AE, v. non-child.” Employees breathed a sigh of relief. “Pretty sure we would have immediately lost all of our users if he named us that,” said Chief...

Vitalik Suspected of Extraterrestrial Origins
EARTH — Conspiracy theorists have taken to Reddit this week in a wild and unfounded notion that Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin is from a recently discovered planet located between Venus and Mercury. Redditors are calling the planet “Cryptomar.” The contention that the blockchain guru is from another planetary body is loosely based on conjecture that he “looks like an alien” and the fact that he put Earth as his location in his twitter bio.Vitalik lists twitter location as "Earth".Despite al...

HOLLYWOOD — Famous cool dude Keanu Reeves talked about cryptocurrency in an interview with Wired, published Tuesday.
The Point Break star opined, "You ever have that feeling where you're not sure if you're awake or still dreaming? Those who see it [crypto] took the red pill. The naysayers are still dreaming."
The star off everyone's favorite 90’s action movie Speed, though previously critical of NFTs, has apparently changed his tune. "I mean, think about it. If John Wick had NFTs, he probably wouldn't have had to mess up a perfectly good basement floor with that sledge. The dog would have been a metapooch or something. But there were guns in there so... anyway, you get my point".
Reeves, no stranger to charities, then dived into how he became an adviser to the Futureverse Foundation, a not-for-profit charity building a metaverse where anyone can access and create in an open, rich, and diverse world.

"It really is The Matrix come to life in our world in a lot of ways. The Wachowskis are real visionaries in that respect, ahead of the curve you know. We already have machines controlling our lives. All we need now are TikTok pods filled with pink goo for the masses," chuckled Reeves.
"Maybe that's where we are going, who knows. But at least I will have this cute chubby penguin picture to keep me company. Hell, I can even be the chubby penguin. A chubby penguin with helicopter piloting skills and bullet time. Sick."
After explaining that he still knows kung-fu, the My Own Private Idaho star went on, "I think the principle, the ideas behind an independent currency and blockchain technologies are like whoooooa. It’s going to improve. It’s going to get stronger. To write off crypto just because it is volatile is a mistake. I should know, just look at the middle of my career."
